I'm a bit the pessimist Whoops! I rescind my earlier comment. We have found common ground to agree on. :o)

the presence of Pakistan. An external threat, whether real or perceived, complicates things. Complicates only in the minds of folks that need to understand more about the region. India/Pakistan share these traits : - Over a few thousand years of living alongside each other as a bunch of kingdoms. - the notion of "india" and "Pakistan" only came about with partition in 1947. Want to go into more recent history ? : Bangladesh was "East Pakistan" until 1971. The country known as Bangladesh did not exist until then. You think all of this changes the way people behave amongst each other ? Of course, the politicians have different motives, and thats where noise comes from.
